# Carat vs Script Pilot

The clearest difference is ads: Script Pilot at none against Carat's shown. Script Pilot also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Carat's advantage is ratings volume (659 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Carat sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Script Pilot sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Script Pilot holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Carat has 659 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Carat ships an update every 3 days, Script Pilot every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
